This hand-knotted West Persian Hamadan Kelleh carpet originates from 1930 in the Persian traditional style. It consists of a wool pile on cotton foundations with an even pile, minimal wear, and secure ends and sides. The design incorporates a central cream medallion, matching corner spandrels, and an overall pattern of stiff foliage, leaves, and geometric floral motifs set against a red field, enclosed within a multi-banded border displaying navy blue, pink, and white tones. The rectangular rug measures 320 cm high by 163 cm wide by 1 cm deep. Ideal for placement in an English country house interior, this large-sized floor covering suits grand reception rooms, long hallways, or spacious living areas. The versatile palette of red, cream, navy blue, and pink complements traditional furniture schemes while adding warmth and texture to timber or stone flooring.

FAQs

Originating from the Hamadan region of western Iran, a Kelleh rug features a distinct long and medium-wide format traditionally designed to fit specific proportions in classic Persian room layouts.

These carpets are hand-knotted using a durable wool pile woven onto a cotton warp and weft foundation, featuring hand-spun yarns and natural dye techniques.

Authentic pieces are identified by their geometric or angular botanical motifs, thick wool pile, sturdy cotton foundation, and characteristically varied colour shading known as abrash.

The elongated proportions make a Kelleh carpet ideal for wide hallways, entry corridors, or positioned alongside large furniture pieces to provide grounding geometry and rich colour.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush bar, rotate the carpet periodically to ensure balanced wear, and attend to liquid spills immediately using clean water and neutral detergent.
